Well lets do a real independent analysis and see. Lay all the costs long and short term for all the options and then make the decision from there. Thats what sensible people do. Not if your of the neo liberal persuasion. Just look at kennets folly with the electricity system. Privatisation of electricity in Victoria had failed to deliver any increased generating capacity and generator breakdowns were threatening blackouts. Prices had increased particularly for low-income households. Ironically businesses too, which had been prime drivers of privatisation, suffered from rising wholesale prices after 2000 (Beder 2003, 236-40). https://www.herinst.org/sbeder/privatisation/ProjVictoria.html
